Our Story
Over It is a youth-led, project-focused community organization working in partnership with ArtStart to bring a high-quality, aesthetically pleasing and permanent skatepark to Rhinelander.
Rhinelander has baseball fields, the YMCA, RIA, and the dome, but none of those facilities have the same social aspect that a good skatepark provides. With a skatepark, there’s no waiting for practice or games; it’s open and accessible whether it’s 20 kids or one, and regardless of whether they want to skate, ride BMX bikes or just hang out.
These opportunities are important for both physical and mental health, and they play a big role in the health of our community as a whole. It’s about more than skateboarding; it’s a commitment to our community’s youth and to making the community itself a more desirable place to live and raise a family. If we want our kids and community to be healthy and successful, we have to provide the opportunities for them to be healthy and successful. Please help us make that happen.
